Hi,
I'm required to show the following format througt the application "yyyy-MMM-dd". I define the thread as follow
var cultureInfo = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(""); var dateTimeFormatInfo = new DateTimeFormatInfo(); dateTimeFormatInfo.ShortDatePattern = "yyyy-MMM-dd"; dateTimeFormatInfo.DateSeparator = "-"; cultureInfo.DateTimeFormat = dateTimeFormatInfo; System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
Everything works fine however the when I go to edit mode the format goes to "yyyy-MM-dd" and I have no idea where that come from.
Regards,
Dominik

Hello Dominik,

Thank you for the understanding.
Hi Dimi,
Do you know when that feature will be release.
Thanks,
I am just checking the progress of this issue and was wondering if you have any furthered questions.
The control uses the mask that it is provided (or one that is inferred based on the datatype) to determine what characters are accepted and also uses that to parse the characters entered. The full list of supported mask characters is documented in the help here. It does not support everything that a format string could accept and in the case of datetime it does not support named Month or Day sections. It only supports numerical input for the month number and day number for the entry of the value which is why the "MMM" was translated into the mask section "mm". The control will use the Format when the control is not in edit mode to display the value. The ability to support named Day/Month sections will be submitted as a feature request.
